"GPRs" (Glenn Personal Records)
GPRs are a way to track of progress that the Grizzly Band is making every week. We don't get a chance to tell you about the little "PRs" that are being set all the time in our band program, and these little details go a long way. After all, "excellence is in the details"!
GPRs this week:
- The US Navy Band performed today (Sunday, 2/4/24) at the LHS PAC. At this concert the GHS Band sent two representatives from our band to perform with the Navy Band!
- Congratulations to Jenae Conner and Logan Phipps, our GHS Representatives who were selected by their peers to perform with the Navy Band!

SAVE THE DATE: WGI @ GHS: March 1st-3rd
WGI is a MASSIVE event that we host every spring. This event takes ALL of our band community to make a success! Please save this weekend in your calendars; there is a need for everyone to help in some way (both students and parents).
Last year @ WGI, the Glenn Band utilized
- More than 130 Parent Volunteers
- Every band student (more than 120 volunteers shifts covered)
This year's show is EVEN BIGGER than last year, so we need EVERYONE to jump in to help! Don't worry, no experience is required. Mark your calendars now!
GRIZZLIES ON THE BEACH (Band Spring Trip) - April 18-21st
We haven't had a full-band spring trip in quite some time at GHS (since 2019, in fact). Our band students have earned some beach time!
Parents: this trip is a fun getaway for the kids where they will be staying in villas with a group of roommates. There is a lot of free time where the kids will be able to relax at the villas or on the beach! They will also be doing a lot of cooking at their villas as a group; this may sound scary but former students have had a great time on these kinds of trips. This is a favorite trip for other LISD bands and we're excited to finally offer this trip to our Grizzly Band!
Additional details for registering can be found below. Sign up today!
The Grizzly Band is beach-bound in Port Aransas/Corpus Christi!!!
Students, it's time to relax and enjoy the beach in Port Aransas! This is going to be a fun time to unwind and spend time together after our UIL performances. We'll be spending 4 days and 3 nights at the El Constante beachside condos where you'll be staying in resort-style villas with a group of your band buds! Seniors, you will also be getting a special senior golf cart outing!
Details & registration info can be found below - sign up now!

These fundraisers continue to support the Glenn Band. Funds will be specifically supporting the band trailer fund, band scholarships, instructional staff & clinicians, and more band operational expenses. Thank you for supporting your Grizzly Band!
